On Our Way To Crazy

I love all the kids in my youth group. I really, really do. But I have to say that the girls in my junior high class are the coolest kids in the world. They are funny and sharp and sweet and totally adorable. Our hour of bible study together is the highlight of my week.

I got in trouble with Aaron today for always falling asleep during the Cowboys games. Apparently it keeps him from fully being able to yell at the TV.

This year is our first Thanksgiving with a real dining room table. We have seven people coming over, and I’m thinking of doing it up all fancy-like with place settings and table decorations and centerpieces and nameplates. Thoughts? I’ve never done a dinner like that before. I think it would be awesome.

Wednesday night in youth group we are making Christmas decorations for the youth room and watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. I can’t wait.

This weekend I’ve been taking care of a friend’s two huge labs while she was out of town. I mean HUGE. I was kind of nervous about it, but it has been super fun. They are awesome. Yesterday we spent an hour in the backyard just throwing the ball around. You guys know I love Miles more than my luggage, but he is not very playful. He likes to sleep. A lot. It’s been fun to hang out with more active dogs.

The other day one of my youth group parents brought me a couple of bottles of his HOMEMADE WINE. I love my job. And my church. And that particular parent.

Last week Aaron was watching his idol, Gordon Ramsey, on some food show or another. Apparently on the show he made a ceasar salad. Aaron was inspired. I don’t know what kind of crazy technique he thinks he is using… it just looks like making a ceasar salad to me. But they are delicious ceasar salads. And I would know. We’ve had four since Thursday.
